It’s easy to second-guess leader’s decisions when you are sitting in future time.  Be careful!  We have the benefit of seeing how future events unfolded and how others reacted to their actions.  These dynamics were simply educated guesses to them.  We also have information which was unavailable to the decision-makers.

Give others the benefit of doubt instead of assuming the worst.  Give yourself the same.  Yes, be careful even how you evaluate the decisions you made as a team in the past.  Give yourself some credit – there were likely valid reasons based on the factors you knew at the time.
